Thanks for that update Kristen,

It’s nice to have alternatives as new modules come out to better fit the needs of the individual – website owner.

Finding if a module that solves your problem already exists is possibly THE biggest difficulty with Drupal. Whatever your problem may be there’s probably at least one module that solves it, but it may not solve it exactly how you’d like. It’s also not trivial to find out if such a module exists.

This is a great post. There is also a comparison of several content recommendation modules at http://groups.drupal.org/node/12347 Perhaps you could add your thoughts there to help people decide?

I found the similar entries module better to use. the CRE module depends upon voting api and similarity module. And similarity module is just in a DEV version. Check out Showing Similar content nodes on Drupal

Also, for Drupal 6, you might want to check out the featured content module for easily creating lots of different kinds of featured and related content blocks including sorting by closest match by terms:
